Closed my Paypal account months ago but now a chargeback?

Please help, I'm not sure what to do :( Im also really sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum but I wasn't sure where would be the best.

Basically I had a business account with paypal, last December sold some good dispatched all was good as far as I knew. I closed my account at the end of January-ish as I was closing the business.

Fast forward to now im getting phone calls every day off paypal from the beginning of this week (I have rubbish signal so I keep getting voice messages). So thinking it odd I log into my old email it was registered on and low and behold a charge back was started and closed. My account is now in the negative by about £90 I should think. Except I cant log into it, I cant do anything as it was closed and I have no desire in answering the phone calls as they'll want it all and I won't know how to handle it.

So In short; I don't have £90, Im scared they'll hand it over to a debt collecting agency or something and Im just generally panicking and need some advice. Thank you in advance x

    You need to talk to them and agree a payment plan. Ignoring it isn't the answer

    If you dont sort it with them then you leave them little choice but to pass it
    onto collections.

    Why not phone them a dispute it?
